Chapter 419 The last gap
The construction and activation of the Torrent Scale Tower did not affect Russell, except that the dark dream could not descend.
The reclamation of the Black Fire Land is also ongoing.
Not only did the Fluorescent Mushroom Family invest a lot of manpower and material resources to help Russell build his territory, but the Yujiuhua Family also came to support Russell after the opening of the warm season trade route, led by his uncle Sethro, a group of knights, craftsmen and serf technicians.
"Uncle, cousin." Russell hosted a banquet for the knights of the Yujiuhua Family in the Cigar Courtyard of the Black Waist Snake Manor.
Sethro is now quite high-spirited.
This ordinary 1st-turn fantasy beast knight could only stay in the country manor at the mouth of the Sancha River.
But after reconciling with Earl Merlin, he was immediately reused by his uncle Major, and now he has been appointed as the knight leader of a knight group, the Qingshui River Knights.
"Russell, the Knights of the Qingshui River will fight in the snowfield with the Knights of the Youguang River Valley. The craftsmen and serf technicians escorted here are the assistance of your uncle Major." Sethro handed over the work first.
"Thank you, uncle." Russell replied with a smile.
Then he asked Charles, who had just returned, to hand over to his cousin Sethel, and he continued to greet Sethro: "Uncle, why did your uncle split a knight group to come to the Youguang River Valley to fight in the snowfield?"
Sethro replied: "My father-in-law needs to protect the Dragon Blood Knights, so the three knight groups of the family have no protection from the flying dragon knights, so they sent the Qingshui River Knights to the Youguang River Valley to seek Roman's protection."
The Sancha River Mouth is named after the Qingshui River and the Zhuoshui River that converge into the Dawankuan River.
The Yujiuhua family cultivated three knight groups, named the Qingshui River Knights, the Zhuoshui River Knights and the Dawankuan River Knights.
After the war mobilization order, all the nobles need to send out knights to fight in the snowfield.
The Yujiuhua family is no exception, so they choose to let Sethro lead the Qingshui River Knights and follow the Youguang Valley Knights.
"I see." Russell nodded, "Congratulations, uncle, you have the opportunity to command a knight group."
"If it weren't for your baron promotion ceremony, I'm afraid it would be difficult for my father-in-law and I to reconcile." Sethro sighed, "Russell, your aunt asked me to say thank you to you."
"Auntie is too polite, we are all family."
"Yes, family."
"I will also participate in the escort on this expedition to the snowfield, uncle, just let go." Russell said.
Sethro said happily: "It's great to have you, the first person in Shadow Flame, as a guard!"
The Qingshui River Knights rested in the Youguang Valley for two days, and Sethro and Sethro were also taken by Russell to visit the Black Fire Land and Lei Ze.
Wait until the third day, early July.
Lord Croa, the Steel Dragon Knight, and Lord Hancock, the Black Coal Dragon Knight, came together, and gathered four flying dragon knights and two knight groups, and marched towards the snowfield from the direction of the Black Snake Manor.
There were no snow demons in the territory, so the knights moved forward outside the territory.
Finally, they arrived at the Green City Snow Forest.
This was the camping site selected by Russell for the knights. Of course, the owl-like dragons living in the cold spring point of the Green City Garden had been expressly prohibited from being harmed by anyone.
Among this group of owl-like dragons, there might be a second pseudo-harpy dragon in the future.
"Quack!"
Revisiting the old place, the pseudo-harpy dragon Hape returned to the group of owl-like dragons comfortably, and brought them gifts.
A bag full of roasted rat meat.
"Quack!"
"Quack!"
The owl-like dragons scrambled for it and soon ate up the roasted rats. Each one had a mouth full of oil and a round belly.
"Are these the compatriots of Hape?" Baron Roman followed Russell and camped in the Green City Garden.
"Yes, father." Russell responded, "I found Hape here. After some communication, Hape chose to recognize me as the master, and then completed the fantasy beast contract with me."
Baron Roman looked envious: "So, Hape is also a pseudo-dragon heir of the fantasy beast species, similar to Baoli at the beginning?"
He has contracted three fantasy beasts and is about to contract the fourth one.
They are Silver Winged Wind Fox, Black Waisted Snake King and Nightmare Ghost Horse. None of them has the potential to be promoted to a pseudo-dragon. Compared with the unicorn Baoli, the qualifications are too poor.
"Yes."
"So, can Hape evolve into a pseudo-dragon?" Baron Roman asked with a burning gaze.
Russell replied, "It's possible, but no one can guarantee it. The evolutionary conditions of the pseudo-dragon are too harsh."
"Yes, you have to go through a life-and-death crisis to be promoted to the Dragon Domain Lord. This condition..." Baron Roman's envy of Russell suddenly faded a lot. "I was thinking about finding a pseudo-dragon heir of the fantasy beast to contract with."
After a pause, Baron Roman sighed, "But after thinking about it carefully, it is better for the pseudo-dragon heir to be contracted by a talented young knight."
Russell comforted, "Father, you are in your prime, and there is a possibility that you can be promoted to the Dragon Domain Lord with a fantasy beast."
"Let's not do it." Baron Roman waved his hand, "I don't have your good luck to escape from death... You have a giant dragon watching you all the time... In short, work hard, and the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame will be handed over to you young people sooner or later."
Chatting for a while.
Baron Roman looked at Hape who was getting along well with the owl-like dragon, and suddenly said, "Hape seems to like the owl-like dragon tribe very much?"
"Yes."
"If you want to speed up your training with Hape, you might as well bring all the owl-like dragons back to the territory to raise them." Baron Roman made a suggestion.
Russell shook his head: "Father, no."
"Why?"
"Aren't there a group of quail-like dragons raised in the cold spring point of the family's four-season flower sea? After killing them, the cold spring point will no longer be warm." Russell said, "The same principle applies. Once the owl-like dragons leave the Green City Garden, this place is no longer a garden."
"It doesn't matter. It's better to build a garden at home." Baron Roman said.
"But the key is that if the cold spring loses the owl-like dragon, it will lose warmth. Similarly, if the owl-like dragon leaves the cold spring and reproduces the next generation, it will not give birth to an owl-like dragon, but will degenerate into an ordinary owl."
"Is that so?" Baron Roman touched his chin, "I see... Then, Russell, is Baoli's Lei Ze considered a kind of cold spring?"
"Yes."
"Then can Lei Ze breed a batch... Forget it, it's probably not easy for Baoli to find a matching partner." Baron Roman shook his head.
At this time, Baoli was leisurely eating grass near the cold spring in Green City Garden.
Russell glanced at Baoli's back and whispered: "Father, I guess pseudo-dragons may not need to pass on their offspring through reproduction. Based on my understanding of pseudo-dragon Yuanxi, perhaps radiating the same kind is the key to pseudo-dragon inheritance."
"Radiate the same kind?"
"Yes, radiate the same kind." Russell said.
There are several cold springs in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, with pseudo-dragon heirs of the Yuan beast species, which means that pseudo-dragons have been born here.
But as Baron Roman said, it is too difficult for a pseudo-dragon to find a partner.
It is not realistic to pass on pseudo-dragon heirs through sexual reproduction, so the most likely way of inheritance is power radiation and blood infection.
"I am already preparing an experiment. After Lei Ze meets the survival conditions, I will release a batch of war horses into Lei Ze." Russell said softly with Bao Li on his back, "Let's see if the power in Lei Ze can infect these war horses into... horse-like dragons."
Bao Li hates others to think of her as a horse.
So Russell has to carry Bao Li on his back to conduct the horse-like dragon experiment to prevent Bao Li from thinking that this is disrespectful to her.
"If it succeeds... Tsk tsk, this may be a blow to Bao Li." Baron Roman laughed softly.
Of course, he knew that Bao Li hated to be considered a horse the most.
Russell smiled: "But if the experiment fails, it is very likely that Polly's bloodline is indeed unrelated to horses... It may be a unique unicorn, born and raised, just like a two-legged dragon."
"Well, do you believe that Polly evolved from a horse, or was born and raised?"
"Intellectually, I think Polly did evolve from a horse, but emotionally, I believe Polly is unique." Russell said, "This experiment is more of a contest between my emotions and reason than a test of Polly's bloodline."
"What do you mean?" Baron Roman was a little confused.
Russell raised his head at a 45-degree angle and looked at the sky through the gap in the tree canopy: "Is the Dragon Domain Lord the limit? I don't know, but I know that there is still a gap between me and Polly on the question of whether it is a horse."
Break this gap.
Maybe he can peek into the next stage of the Dragon Domain Lord, of course, maybe nothing will happen.
The Dragon Domain Lord is the end.
